It may be praiseworthy and noble to sacrifice your life to a cause or a business or the happiness of others, but if you are miserable and unfulfilled in that lifestyle, and know it, then to remain in it is a hypocrisy, a lie, and a rejection of the faith placed in you by your creator.

Pilihlah untuk bertindak...bukan menunda-nunda
Pilihlah untuk tumbuh...bukan membusuk
Pilihlah untuk berdoa...bukan menyumpahi
Pilihlah untuk hidup...bukan meninggal

Today I will be master of my emotions.
